Yggdrasil Appoints Chief Financial Officer
Yggdrasil Gaming, a provider of market-leading online and mobile casino games, has announced that following its rapid growth over the past couple of months, it has appointed Frida Gustafsson as Chief Financial Officer.
Prior to her appointment at Yggdrasil Gaming, Gustafsson spent over six years in several roles at NetEnt and most recently served as its Finance Manager for tax and new markets. She has also served as Auditor for Deloitte Sweden. Gustafsson will be based at Yggdrasil’s Malta headquarters.
The Chief Executive Officer at Yggdrasil Gaming, Fredrik Elmqvist, commented on the new appointment by extending his warmest welcome to Frida on behalf of the entire Yggdrasil team. He also said that as Yggdrasil grows, it is important for them to assemble a world-class team of executives and Frida is one of the sharpest financial minds in gaming and is bound to be a huge asset as they continue to expand as a company.
Jubise Casino Closes Down
Online players at SoftSwiss powered Jubise Casino were surprised to learn that the casino had closed down and moved all their accounts and info to TTR Casino – a Russian language online casino – without their prior consent, which is in total contrast with industry standards.
A badly written notification of the change was forwarded to customers at Jubise Casino, which was only received after the changes had been made and which reads as follows:
“Hello dear player!
We want to inform you that your account was transfered to ttr.casino. It is new brand, which are compeltely awesome and boost our operation on completely new level.More than this, you will be able to get First Deposit Bonus at TTR casino again.
Your login details are same for TTR casino, all balances are also transferred. Just login in your account and enjoy brand new casino!
Thank you very much”
Any professional casino would first get players’ consent before moving their info and Jubise Casino’s procedure is definitely not a professional way to conduct business.
This further reiterates the need for regulation Worldwide, like we have in the UK. You can feel safe in the knowledge that all of the gaming sites recommended (linked to) on the Doolallys site are fully licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission.
